Paris: Notre Dame, Tour Eiffel, Louvre and Musee d'Orsay are musts. Use the Batoboat as your transportation. Also, be sure to walk the Champs Elysee at night, and see the Arc d'Triomphe. Finally, walk up to Sacre Coeur and check out the artists. If you work really hard at it, you can see this in three days (but that's hard work)
Amsterdam: Anne Frank's house, the Riiksmuseum, the Rembrandt Museum. Take a walk around the red light district. Stroll the canals - there's a nice canal walking tour on the Fodor's website. There used to be 'hotel-boats' near the train station that offered lower cost places to stay, plus it's kinda interesting sleeping on the boat.
Rome - Spanish Steps (for the people watching). Splurge on a copy of Rick Steve's book and do the fountain walk (at night!), for ancient Rome, you must see the Colusseum and Forum; for Christian Rome, St. Peters. The Vatican Museum is a must. Finally, find a way to sit and have an espresso in the little square in front of the Pantheon - it's just a fun people place.

For beauty (tho touristy) check out Brugge(Bruges) and Ghent in Belgium, maybe Brussels, for sure Paris. Visit mainly the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th arrondissements (districts). Amsterdam is great.
Going through Germany to Italy is cheaper if you pass through Austria than Switzerland. Good stops in Germany would be Koln, Heidelberg, Trier, a cruise on the Rhine, Berlin and/or Munich, then you cna take a train to north Italy like florence and stop there on the way down to rome. You could also go from Munich to Venice.
Read Let's Go Europe, and Lonely Planet to West .EU.
If you're under 26 get a youth train pass for 4 or 5 countries, like a Select pass. If over 26 you'll have to compare a train pass with point to point tickets. You can price these on
raileurope.com
If you get a pass for France, Benelux, Germany and Italy
(paying extra to transit Austria might cost about $25, so you could get a 5 country pass and include Austria, or skip Austria and include Switz. if you pass through it becaus its trains are $$$$$$!!!!
Switz is beautiful, especially Zurich, the Alps, Luzern, and Lausanne.
Milano is nice if you like big cities, and siena and cinqueterre are good stops in Itlay, too.
Have fun.
